  1. Just sorting out the documents ready for attaching to my daughters visa application, will be able to submit later this week, getting the visa is almost the last piece of the puzzle for us. Should know by the end of March. Haven't looked at flight prices since booking, be pissed if they have come down over the last month or so 😞
  2. We've only been to Womad since being here, went last year for the first time and enjoyed it much more than expected so will be going back next month - maybe 15000 or so people there - so enough to make the weekend nice. With the Sunday crowd and dependent on which figures you take - Glastonbury could pip Wellington and make it to the 3rd largest city, would be interesting to see that physical size overlay thing that was going around to compare the land size as well.
  3. I've talked endlessly about it whenever I can during my 6 years here and am always wearing something with Glastonbury on it (and so are the kids too - but they keep growing out of stuff). People are fascinated by it because there's nothing remotely like it here. I did see a lady in our local supermarket with the same 2016 coat on, but other than that I've never seen anyone else in Glasto related stuff. We also have 3 campervan passes still stuck to the screen of the van, that's raised a few comments over the years too. If you visited Wellington, would have been great to have spotted someone else with a Glasto T shirt on 🙂
  4. Paid the rest of the glamping charges, so that's the flights, the accommodation and the tickets now secured.
  5. Thank you so much:) - the weather is the only thing i'm worrying about, it just feels like we are due a bad one - been through a few rough ones in the past, but really don't fancy going through one again. Positive thoughts only from now on 😉
  6. We're treating this as a once in a lifetime final visit to the festival, so have pushed the boat out big style and its costing more than I care to think about (and will never share on here for sure), but for us its worth it and we are going to enjoy every second of all of the luxury and travelling lite from the time we leave NZ to the time we get back - sometimes you just have to go for it and enjoy what you want, whilst you still can.
  7. Seeing all the comments about 2025 headliners made me think the same thing 🙂
  8. Does that spell Worthy view? Never noticed it before.
  9. Well finally booked the flights and time off from work plus a few more houses / hotels for the stay - will be in the UK for just over a month - its all starting to feel real now! Have to wait until March to apply for the visa's so still some stuff to sort out. How's everyone else's plans and arrangements going?
  10. Thank you for the other reply and explanation, I wish i had managed to read it and understand it before the local sale as i like others was keen to see what would happen, in the end completely forgot about the local sale and the accommodation one is at 1am for me, so won't be trying it then either.
  11. I've just tried 2 ways of getting the IP address for Glastonbury.seetickets.com and both give me this number. This is very different to the range that was contained within this thread and also provided in the myip link that someone provided. I'm just trying to understand how all of the host file changing an IP address stuff works. In the past it would have had no interest to me as a heavy current electrical engineer but now I'm working as an OT lead and doing a project where we have to integrate with a file transfer registry and also a website and so this techy stuff has started to interest me - I like to know how things work. Am I doing something incorrectly, looking at completely the wrong thing or have See changed something since the sale?
  12. Was just looking again at the location and i'm edging towards going via Singapore with maybe a decent length stop over for a good rest and use of the hotel / facilities. What we'll save by going economy rather than premium will make a massive difference to the cost of the trip. Cheers
  13. When i used to travel long haul a lot (several times a month) i would check and note every good economy seat position, as you are right, there are some that are much better than others and you can either pay a small fee or sometimes nothing to get a much better experience. Travelling so much I did get a get a few upgrades or cheap business class boosts, that made life a lot easier, would arrive some much fresher by just being able to fully recline and keep the fluid out of my legs. Don't miss flying at all.
  14. It is an extortionate increase for what you get in return. I have also looked at maybe getting a flight with a longer stop and then booking a hotel air side for a few hours, I think Singapore has one or 2, can't remember now. But a good period of time to stretch the legs, shower, get a massage etc can all make a mike difference to the feeling when you finally arrive in the UK and this would be alot cheaper than 4 premium economy tickets. I'm hoping for a 2 for 1 sale 😉
  15. Haven't booked flights back to the UK since 2019 so a bit out of touch. Would be great to get an idea of when is likely to be the best time to book them. We can book now, but we also need 2 visa's which we can't apply for until Jan next year, so i'm trying to hold off until after Christmas - unless a really good offer comes along in the meantime. Looking to go for premium economy for a little bit of extra comfort which bumps the price up a fair bit. Someone from work just use AirNZ for the UK and said the extra was worth it for them. Any advice on time for booking or airline experience would be gratefully received. Have thought about flying to Perth (stay a day or 2) and then getting the non stop flight to London - help with the time difference a bit and getting over the flights in all - cheers.
